My beer buddies and I have been brewing for a couple of years now and get some really excellent results. We have a Grainfather which makes life so much easier. This Kölsch is by far and away the bestest ever brew we have done. The taste is gorgeous, it is so clear and fresh looking and the head just lasts and lasts. We brewed and fermented in garage conditions in November just what the brew needed, cooler fermentation than your average brew. Fantastic? Nuff said, just in the process of ordering a couple more kits.

Nice smooth easy to drink and moorish

Review byPeter Kon18/03/2017

Pleased to have tried this one, which is a departure from my norm. Enjoyable and easy to make. Very tasty already but will leave to one side to savour during the warmer days.

Pleasant brew

Review byAnthonyon28/09/2016

Now been in my fridge to condition for 13 days and has cleared up nicely. Quite similar to German Weissbier. This has good potential with further conditioning.

Very nice kit.

Review byHeathen Breweron02/07/2016

The kit was bought for me as a Father's Day present. The postage was prompt and well packaged according to the wife. The only concern I had on that front was that the yeast upgrade to Wyeast 2565 had been left unrefrigerated for the entire time of the postage, also there was no notice on the outer box stating that there was live yeast in the package that needed refrigeration immediately! As such it was left in the boot of my wife's car for nearly a week and then hidden in the house for a further 2 weeks without my wife knowing that the yeast needed chilling. That aside the kit is very good value with a hefty amount of malt. The instructions are informative but not very descriptive ( for a novice). The brew mashed well and efficiencies were well up there with the o.g of 1.053. The yeast was pitched and I was convinced it was dead as I made a starter and there was no visible activity but as I was about to repitch some new yeast it started fermenting and then it kept on fermenting!! Finished clean and malty with a nice honey like profile. I am looking forward necking a good few of these down as it is a great alternative to brewing a lager during the summer months.

Summer Winner

Review byRobon08/05/2016

Bottled this today and already its nice and clean with a nice bitterness to finish. Nice straightforward brew, wont need to mess around with low fermentation temps for lagers when I can get this close with an Ale. Just got to wait for it to bottle conditon now-the last bit is always the hardest!!

Easy step into all grain

Review byJohnon05/10/2015

Brewed this Kölsch this weekend, My first all grain brew using the BIAB method. Wasn't sure how successful I'd be as it is my 3rd brew and decided to plunge into AG head first. Sampled one of my friends brew of this and was pleasantly surprised with how good it tasted. Recipe instructions were straight forward, If a little bit lacking. I think these were more aimed at an intermediate brewer. Still, Google helped me with any questions. I hit above the SG, and at my expected volume, I'm pretty happy. It's now happily bubbling away. Will definitely purchase this kit again. Excellent value for money.

Great "lager" without the faff!

Review byDarylon20/07/2015

Just started on these after 2 weeks fermenting, 2 weeks in the bottle in the house, and 2 weeks lagering in the fridge and WOW! Great tasting pseudo-lager, with great clarity. Back to back against a true Kolsch they are on a par!
